Glenfiddich, awarded for its passion towards innovation, pushes the boundaries of convention further by launching Cocktails Reimagined– a selection of exotic cocktails with the finest ingredients painstakingly handpicked from diverse parts of India.

Cubbon Pavilion, in ITC Gardenia, has perhaps the most splendid buffet line up in the city.

Last week we were invited for a special preview of Jalsa Gold’s Valentine’s Special dinner. Now I have always liked the original Jalsa, their Mughal décor and cushion seats – the whole royal experience to dining. They were one of the first to bring that kind of concept dining to the city, back in the …

Shizusan has a special promo of world inspired bao across their outlets in Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai called The Traveling Bao Festival.

Last weekend, a few of us were invited to Sriracha for a tasting of their new menu. The menu has undergone a complete overhaul, and the result is impressive.
